TOTEM mixed media

​

Syncretic and arbitrary combination of images in order to find a formal aesthetic harmony, but above all, for free and internalize a cry full of significance from the warm blood of our irrational contradictions.

In the stillness of a white vertical surface I felt the need to take possession of a visual tribal gesture, distilling objects, images and thoughts gathered in the accumulation of everyday life, enhancing the material inserted to find a new meaning, making, in the purpose of my intent, a mirror to reflect on our failures and our doubts.
A warning to me or the person who stands in front, not to underestimate the origin of the present and the mystery of our human condition.
